anyone have an idea what this peg is for? There is another on the opposite side. I'm guessing it is a device to hold something? If it is for a drink holder?? If so, a name brand would be great so maybe I could utilize these little pegs! Thanks...   |

Buy a small padlock and use it to put helmet D rings on and lock them up. I'd bet they came with locks when purchased.

Exactly!! I have one on the throttle side. Just place the helmet on the mirror with the "D" ring over the peg & put the lock shackle through the hole. Simple and it works.  |

Don't know about the pegs, but unless you have some of that Honda brake fluid that has a yellowish tint, your brake and clutch fluid should be changed. When it gets discolored as in yellow, it has a lot of water in it and won't stop as well.

Brake fluid is never clear. Brake fluid used to be a blue/green colour and now the manufacturers make it yellow. Brake fluid is also hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air and why it should be replaced every 2 years Source(s): mechanic for 25 years Borrowed from another site. You should change it every year or so like he says. Water won't compress like brake fluid does and will boil in your calipers if you are using them a lot. Something you really should do regularly. You don't want to take a chance on your brakes. Like I said earlier, if he has the Honda yellow fluid and it has been changed in the last year or so, it is probably o.k. I use synthetic clear fluid, when it starts to yellow I change it or on a regular basis.  |

As to the padlocks....I guess you are referring to the tiny little jewelry box styles?? The holes are very small in diameter... not even sure if a small padlock would work...

Brake fluid
Brake fluid is never clear. I have three different kinds of DOT-4 brake fluid in the garage and all are crystal clear, You really have to look to see the level in the sight glass after it is changed. And yes those pegs are helmet locks!
Yes and yes. That fluid is a dark amber, almost brown and needs to be changed, badly. New fluid is almost completely clear. It will have a very light amber hue under certain light conditions. The brand also matters. Some are clearer than others but the color is not always obvious. |

They are actually for a harness to connect to your Hans device to hold you on the bike in case of those high power take offs. These bikes have such amazing torque that some riders needed all the assistance they could get while learning to handle them.  |

OK, back on topic. Here's a link to where I got my helmet lock.Since you already have the pegs, you can get the small Master Locks at a locksmith store or a hardware that sells good locks. These are small padlocks, but not "wimpy". http://www.mblinnovations.com/cruiser_locks.html |

So these are indeed posts to lock helmets. Thanks for the definitive answer. And all along I"ve been just leaving the helmet unattended!!
Now I"m thinking.....I guess I could lock about anything to this. The possibilities are great!!
Thanks for the answer.
